If you left the key in the "run" position that long, you may have burned the coil out. (?)

Didn't say what year it is, but if it has points, they could be burnt due to the key being left on.

If it's HEI, remove the tach wire from the cap and put your 12 volt test light on the terminal and crank the engine. If the test light flashes, the module is good.
